They're not classes in source code. As an implementation detail, certain compilation strategies do generate them anyway.

I don't know much about compilers, but basically the ones don't have anywhere else to put the context of a closure.

I don't think that's what happens in the JVM, you can google up the invokevitual + other supporting gunk/mechanism for this.

D'oh, sorry I sent you on a wild goose chase - you want invokedynamic. Invokedynamic and lambdas.
